Snow Card

I created a card for the Festive Friday FFC12 trigger challenge using sketch #109 from the Deconstructed Sketch blog.

The paper collection is from Pink Paislee City Sidewalks, which I cut into strips and distressed.  The stamp set is Verve Snow Wonderful.  I did some simple copic coloring on the snowman, which was stamped on the Papertrey Ink Mat Stack 1 die cut.  Added sheer ribbon, snowflake brad, lace and a pompom.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You card

A thank you card for Cardabilities Sketch #78:

I used Prima's Fairy Rhymes paper pad, Papertrey Ink's Mat Stack 1 Collection stamp set, Parisian Lace doily die, and Dressform die.  Added a Recollections wooden butterfly, I Am Roses mini rose buds, and some lace.

Thanks for taking a peek.

Mojo Monday 300th Sketch

I saw that they're having a celebration at the Mojo Monday blog and wanted to join in.  Here is the card I made based on the sketch

I used the 8x8 French Country paper pad by Graphic 45 and the coordinating stamp set to created the sentiment focal image.  The base is Papertrey Ink Dark Chocolate cardstock and the doily die cut from the G45 paper is also a Papertrey Ink doily die.  Added a burlap trim and I Am Roses sunflower and leaves to complete the card.

Thanks for taking a look.

Graphic 45 Nutcracker Tag

I found another challenge to participate in.  It's the Festive Friday blog challenges.  Here is a tag I made for this week's challenge of incorporating a tree in your project:

I used Graphic 45's Nutcracker Sweet paper collection.  The tree was die cut with Papertrey Ink's Christmas Tree die.  I backed some pattern paper with chipboard to create little presents under the tree.  Added bells and ribbon to complete the tag. 

Thanks for taking a look.

A Divine Birthday Card

I made this for a coworker who turned 50 this month.  I used the Cardabilities Sketch #77:

I used Prima's Divine 6x6 paper pad, flowers, note card, and chipboard piece.  I'm kind of bummed because I had made a video of myself creating this card, and my video program didn't save it.  And I have already given the card to her.

I created the little pendant with a Spare Parts metal which I painted, and stamped "D" (her initial) on pattern paper and added glossy accent.  Added a white I Am Roses flower, Recollections faux pearls, did some stamping, and the die cut for the number 50 is from Papertrey Ink.

Thanks for stopping by.

Secret Garden card set

I was inspired to create some cards using the sketch on Cardabilities.  These cards are based on sketch #76:

Here are the cards I made:

The base of the card measures 5 1/2 by 4 and is made from the Graphic 45 8x8 Secret Garden paper pad.  I stamped the coordinating Secret Garden stamps with Versamark on the center panel, which is from the Secret Garden 6x6 paper pad and also used the coordinating chipboard pieces.  I used Papertrey Ink's Pretty Peonies stamp set and dies, I Am Roses, Memory Box leaf die, Spare Parts brad, feather, Prima Junkyard Findings clock face, Michaels key, string, and seam binding. 

Thanks for stopping by.

New Beginnings Baby Card #3

Here is a third card I made with the Webster's Pages New Beginnings paper pack:

The stamp sets I used are from Papertrey Ink: Bitty Baby Blessings and Mat Stack 4 Collection and die.  I paper pieced the sail boat from the paper pack.  Added a Papertrey Ink button and some seam binding and tulle.

Thanks for taking a look.
